Several invasive species have caused significant harm to Guam's environment, and they threaten our way of life. Brown tree snakes have decimated our bird population, fire ants threaten our animals and ecosystems, and rhino beetles threaten the coconut trees that are a source of shade and sustenance.

In the face of climate change, and the threat that the next typhoon or shipment will introduce new invasive species to our island, we must be innovative in finding new ways to protect our island from the harmful effects of these species.Supported funding
